Definitions
- This invention relates to the use of street or other lighting systems as a basis for a network of sensors, platforms, controllers and software enabling functionality beyond lighting of outdoor or indoor spaces.
- Solid-state lighting not only provides for longer life bulbs, thereby reducing labor costs for replacement, but the resulting fixtures also operate at low temperatures for longer periods, further reducing the need to maintain the fixtures.
- the assignee of this application provides lighting replacement services and devices to various municipalities, commercial and private owners, enabling them to operate their facilities with reduced maintenance costs and reduced energy costs.
- the architecture of our system allows deployment of a networked system within the lighting infrastructure already in place, or at the time of its initial installation. While the system is typically most advantageously deployed in outdoor street lighting, it also can be deployed indoors, for example, in a factory or office building. Also advantageously, when the system is deployed outdoors, it can be installed at a time when street lamp bulbs are changed from incandescent lighting to more efficient lighting, for example, using light emitting diodes (LEDs). The cost of replacing such incandescent bulbs is high, primarily due to the cost of labor and the necessity to use special equipment to reach each bulb in each street lamp. By installing the network described here at that time, the incremental cost vis-à-vis merely replacing the existing incandescent bulb with an LED bulb is minimal.
- LEDs light emitting diodes
- the system uses lighting infrastructure as a platform for business and consumer applications implemented using a combination of hardware and software.
- the main components of the framework are the node hardware and software, sensor hardware, site specific or cloud based server hardware, network hardware and software and wide-area network resources that enable data collection, analysis, action invocation and communication with applications and users.
- the system is described here in the context of street lighting, it will be evident from the following description that the system has applicability to other environments, for example, in a parking garage or factory environment.
- our system provides for a network of lighting systems using existing outdoor, parking structure and indoor industrial lights.
- Each light can become a node in the network, and each node includes a power control terminal for receiving electrical power, a light source coupled to the power control terminal, a processor coupled to the power control terminal, a network interface coupled between the processor and the network of lighting systems, and sensors coupled to the processor for detecting a conditions at the node.
- the network does not rely on a lighting system.
- our system allows each node to convey information to other nodes and to central locations about the conditions at the nodes. Processing can therefore be distributed among the nodes in the LIAF.
- gateway coupled to the network interface of some LIAF nodes for providing information from the sensors at the nodes to a local or cloud based service platform where application software stores, processes, distributes and displays information.
- This software performs desired operations related to the conditions detected by the sensors at the nodes.
- the gateway can receive information from the service platform and provide that information to the each of the node platforms in its domain. That information can be used to facilitate maintenance of the light, control of the light, control cameras, locate unoccupied parking spaces, measure carbon monoxide levels or numerous other applications, several typical ones of which are described herein.
- the sensors collocated or in the proximity of the nodes can be used with controllers to control the light source, as well as to provide control signals to apparatus coupled to the node, e.g. lock or unlock a parking area.
- Multiple gateways can be used to couple multiple regions of the lighting system together for purposes of a single application.
- each node will include AC/DC converters to convert the supplied AC power to DC for use by the processor, sensors, etc.
- the gateways can communicate with each other through cellular, Wi-Fi or other means to the service platforms.
- the sensors are typically devices which detect particular conditions, for example, audio from glass breaking or car alarms, video cameras for security and parking related sensing, motion sensors, light sensors, radio frequency identification detectors, weather sensors or detectors for other conditions.
- a network of sensors for collecting information by using existing lighting systems having fixtures with light sources.
- the method includes replacing the light source at each fixture with a module that includes a power control terminal connected to the power supply of the existing light fixture, a replacement light source, a processor, a network interface coupled to the processor, and sensors coupled to the processor.
- the sensors detect conditions at and around the node, and forward information about that condition to the processor.
- the network interface of each module at each fixture is commonly coupled together using a broadband or cellular communications network.
- information is collected from the sensors, and that information is provided over the network to application running on local servers at a site or servers in the cloud.
- a local or site based application server is referred to as Site Controller.
- Applications running on a Site Controller can manage data from one or more specific customer sites.
- each module at each of the fixtures includes a controller and apparatus coupled to the controller, and the controller is used to cause actions to be performed by the apparatus.
- signals can be transmitted from the computing device over the communication network to the modules and thereby to the controllers to cause an action to be performed by the apparatus of the lighting system.

- the Lighting Infrastructure Application Framework described here is based on node, gateway and service architectures.
- the node architecture consists of a node platform which is deployed at various locations in the lighting infrastructure, e.g. at individual street light fixtures. At least some of the nodes include sensors that collect and report data to other nodes, and in some cases to higher levels in the architecture. For example, at the level of an individual node an ambient light sensor can provide information about lighting conditions at the location of the lighting fixture. A camera can provide information about events occurring at the node.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a portion of the overall architecture of our system.
- a lighting node 10 includes a node platform in addition to the light source itself.
- the node platform includes sensors 30 of various types as selected by the owner of the lighting node 10 , depending upon the particular application desired.
- a daylight sensor 31 and an occupancy sensor 32 are depicted.
- the lighting node may also include controllers 40 for performing functions in response to the sensors 30 , or performing functions in response to control signals received from other sources.
- Three exemplary controllers are illustrated in the diagram, namely an irrigation control 42 for controlling an irrigation system, a gate control 45 for opening and closing a nearby gate, and a light controller 48 .
- the light controller can be used to control the lighting source in node 10 , for example, turning it off or on at different times of the day, dimming it, causing it to flash, sensing the condition of the light source itself to determine if maintenance is required, or providing other functionality.
- the sensors 30 , controllers 40 power supply, and other desired components can be collectively assembled into a housing of the lighting fixture 10 .
- control functions which these or similar controllers enable include: management of power distribution, measurement and monitoring of power, and demand/response management.
- the controllers can activate and deactivate sensors, and can measure and monitor the sensor outputs.
- the controllers provide management for communication functions such as gateway operation for software downloading and security administration, and for video and audio processing, for example detection or monitoring of events.
- the architecture of our networked system enables “plug-and-play” deployment of sensors at the lighting nodes.
- the Lighting Infrastructure Application Framework provides hardware and software to enable implementation of the sensor plug-and-play architecture.
- software and hardware manages the sensor, but the LIAF provides support for generic functions associated with the sensors. This can reduce or eliminate the need for custom hardware and software support for sensors.
- a sensor requires power, typically battery or wired low voltage DC, and preferably the sensor generates analog or digital signals as output.
- the LIAF allows deployment of sensors at lighting nodes without additional hardware and software components.
- the LIAF provides DC Power to sensor as required. It also monitors the analog or digital interface associated with the sensor, as well as all other activities at the node.
- the node platforms located at some of the lights are coupled together to a gateway platform 50 .
- the gateway platform 50 communicates with the node platform using technology as described further below, but can include a wireless connection or a wired connection.
- the gateway 50 will preferably communicate with the Internet 80 using well-known communications technology 55 such as cellular data, Wi-Fi, GPRS, or other means.
- the gateway platform 50 does not need to be a stand-alone implementation. It can be deployed at a lighting node 10 .
- the gateway platform provides wide area networking (WAN) functionality and can provide complex data processing functionality, in addition to the functions provided by the node platform.
- WAN wide area networking
- the gateway platform 50 establishes communications with a Service Platform 90 enabling the node to provide data to, or receive instructions from, various applications 100 .
- Service Platform 90 is preferably implemented in the cloud to enable interaction with applications 100 .
- Site Controller When a Service Platform 90 or a subset of the functionality is implemented locally at a site then it is referred to as Site Controller.
- Associated with the service platform are a variety of applications that offer end-user accessible functions. Owners, partners, consumers, or other entities can provide these applications.
- One typical application for example, provides reports on current weather conditions at a node.
- the applications 100 are usually developed by others and licensed to the infrastructure owner, but they can also be provided by the node owner, or otherwise made available for use on various nodes.
- Typical lighting related applications include lighting control, lighting maintenance, and energy management. These applications preferably run on the Service Platform 90 or Site Controller. There also can be partner applications—applications that have access to confidential data and to which the lighting infrastructure owners grant privileges. Such applications can provide security management, parking management, traffic reporting, environment reporting, asset management, logistics management, and retail data management to name a few. There are also consumer applications that enable consumers to have access to generic data, with access to this data granted, for example, by the infrastructure owner. Another type of application is owner-provided applications. These are applications developed and used by infrastructure owners, e.g. controlling traffic flow in a region or along a municipal street. Of course there can also be applications that use customized data from the framework.
- the primary entities involved in the system illustrated in FIG. 1 are a lighting infrastructure owner, an application framework provider, an application or application service owner, and end users.
- Typical infrastructure owners include a municipality; a building owner, tenants, an electric utility, or other entities.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram that illustrates the architecture of our system at a higher level. As shown in FIG. 2 groups of nodes 10 communicate with each other and to a gateway platform 50 . The gateway communicates, in turn, through communication media 55 to the Internet 80 . In a typical implementation as illustrated, there will be multiple sets of nodes 10 , multiple gateways 50 , multiple communication media 55 , all commonly coupled together to the service platforms 90 available through the Internet 80 . In this manner, multiple applications can provide a wide degree of functionality to individual nodes through the gateways in the system.
- FIG. 2 also illustrates the networking architecture for an array of nodes.
- an array of nodes 10 are illustrated.
- Solid lines among the nodes represent a data plane, which connects selected nodes to enable high local bandwidth traffic. These connections, for example, can enable the exchange of local video or data among these nodes.
- the dashed lines in section 11 represent a control plane, which connects all of the nodes to each other and provides transport for local and remote traffic, exchanging information about events, usage, node status, and enabling control commands from the gateway, and responses to the gateway, to be implemented.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the node platform in more detail.
- the node infrastructure includes a power supply 12 , typically implemented as an AC to DC converter.
- a power supply 12 typically implemented as an AC to DC converter.
- AC power is the primary power supply to such street lamps. Because most of the sensors and controller structures use semiconductor-based components, power supply 12 converts the available AC power to an appropriate DC power level for driving the node components.
- the array of sensors 30 and controllers 40 are connected to the power module 12 which can include an AC/DC converter as well as other well-known components.
- a processor running an application 15 coordinates operation of the sensors and controllers to implement the desired local functionality. It also provides communication via appropriate media to other node platforms.
- the application may also drive an LED driver circuit 16 , coupled to an appropriate light source 18 , operating under control of one of the controllers 40 .
- An implementation might combine the power module 12 and the Light Controller Module 40 functionality into a single module. As indicated by the diagram, wired 46 and 47 connections and wireless 44 and 49 connections may be provided as desired.
- the lighting infrastructure consists of a Light Source Module 16 , 18 , e.g. an LED assembly such as those commercially available from the assignee Sensity Systems Inc. Of course, third-party manufacturers can provide the Third-party Light Source Module 18 as well as other components.
- the module 16 may also be coupled to a controller 40 .
- the sensors 30 associated with the nodes may be local to the node, or they can be remote. Controllers, other than the LED controller provided by the assignee Sensity Systems Inc., are typically remote and use wireless communications.
- a Processor Module 15 also referred to as a Node Application Controller, manages all the functions within the node. It also implements the administrative, data collection and action instructions associated with applications.
- the Network Module 14 provides Radio Frequency (RF) based wireless communications to the other nodes. These wireless communications can be based on Neighborhood Area Network (NAN), WiFi, 802.15.4 or other technologies.
- NAN Neighborhood Area Network
- WiFi Wireless Fidelity
- 802.15.4 802.15.4
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of gateway platform 50 .
- the gateway platform can be located at a node or located in its own housing separately from the nodes.
- the components of the power module 12 , Processor Module 15 , LED Light Source Module 16 and Third-party Light Source Module 18 are shown again, as well as the Sensor Modules 30 and Controller Modules 40 .
- the gateway platform hardware and software components enable high bandwidth data processing and analytics using Media Module 105 , e.g. at video rates, as well as Relay or WAN Gateway 110 , in addition to the functions supported by the node platform.
- the gateway platform can be considered a node platform but with additional functionality.
- the high bandwidth data processing Media Module 105 supports video and audio data processing functions that can analyze, detect, record and report application specific events.
- the Relay or WAN Gateway 110 can be based on GSM, Wi-Fi, LAN to Internet, or other wide area networking technologies.
- FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the service platform 90 .
- the service platform 90 supports the application gateway 120 and a custom node application builder 130 .
- the application gateway 120 manages interfaces to different types of applications implemented using the sensor and event data from the lighting nodes.
- a service platform 90 with Application Gateway 120 can be deployed as Site Controller at customer lighting site.
- a Site Controller therefore is an instance of Service Platform 90 with just the Application Gateway 120 functionality.
- the custom node application builder 130 allows development of custom node application scripts. These scripts specify to the node Processor Module 15 (see FIG. 3 ), data collection instructions and operations to be performed at the node level.
- the scripts specify to the application gateway 120 how the results associated with the script are provided to an application.
- FIG. 5 also illustrates that owner applications 140 , assignee applications 144 , partner applications 146 , and consumer applications 149 utilize the application gateway API 150 .
- the assignee hereto has developed and implements various types of applications common to many uses of the sensors.
- One such application is lighting management.
- the lighting management application provides lighting status and control functionality for the light source at a local node 10 .
- Another application provided by the assignee provides for lighting maintenance.
- the lighting maintenance application allows users to maintain their lighting network, for example, by enabling monitoring the status of the light(s) at each node.
- An energy management application allows users to monitor lighting infrastructure energy usage and therefore to better control that use.
- the partner applications 146 shown in FIG. 5 are typically assignee-approved applications and application services companies that have established markets for various desired functions, such as those listed below. These applications utilize the application gateway API 150 . Typical partner applications provide security management, parking management, traffic monitoring and reporting, environment reporting, asset management, and logistics management.
- Consumer applications 149 utilize application gateway API 150 to provide consumer related functionality. This API provides access to publicly available, anonymous and owner-approved data. Also shown are owner applications 140 developed and used by lighting infrastructure owners to meet their various specific needs.
- FIG. 6 illustrates the lighting infrastructure applications revenue model for the system described above. This revenue model illustrates how revenue is generated and shared among the key stakeholders in the lighting infrastructure.
- application and/or application service providers collect revenue A from application users.
- Application owners or service providers pay a fee B to the Lighting Infrastructure Application Framework service provider.
- the LIAF service provider pays fees C to the lighting infrastructure owners.
- Key stakeholders of the lighting infrastructure based applications include the owners of the lighting infrastructure. These are the entities that own the light-pole/fixture and the property on which the lighting infrastructure is located. Another key party involved with the system is the LIAF service provider. These are the entities that provide hardware and software platforms deployed to provide the data and services for the applications. The assignee herein is a service provider for the LIAF. Other important entities include the application developers and owners. These entities sell applications or application services. These applications and service providers are based on the data collected, processed and distributed by the LIAF.
